Andrew Wiggins has the most upside out of the top 3 one and done prospects. His freakish athletic ability , lanky physical stature and explosive leaping ability is similar to Tracy Mcgrady. The one thing that hindered Mcgrady’s success was his lack of aggressiveness and leadership , hopefully Wiggins does not share the same traits. Mcgrady was able to get to the basket from any point on the floor and could handle the ball and shoot as well. With a little more polishing and hard work Wiggins should be able to do the same and exceed T-Macs accomplishments as well.

Jabari Parker may have the most complete all around game coming out of college since Carmelo Anthony. We all know Carmelo could have entered the draft straight out of high school with his ability, but his decision to enroll at Syracuse delivered a national championship and enshrined him as arguably one of the greatest one and done players in college basketball history. Jabari shares the same size, offensive ability and competitive nature as Carmelo, and hopes to follow Anthony Davis and Carmelo’s footsteps as the next great one and done NCAA Championship winners.

Julius Randle is a physical beast! He is simply a man amongst boys at the college level, but at his 6’9 height his abilities will be tested at the next level. At the NBA level Julius Randle will either become a small power forward or a small forward lacking the ability to consistently shoot the basketball. If he works on his few flaws he has the potential to make an immediate impact in the NBA. If Julius Randle can develop a mid range jump shot , he would be comparable to a former college great , Chris Webber. They are about the same size and both share the ability score on the interior and collect rebounds.
